Leader
43
Knowledge Worker-RNs roles in patient care:
Data gatherer, Information user, Knowledge user, and Knowledge builder.
44
Can support the efforts of the nurse and health care team in the care of patients. Good information is essential in caring for patients. Inaccurate data leads to medical errors. Nurses rely on their own knowledge, but need access to other information in order to provide safer patient care. Nurses use data and information from multiple sources which is converted to knowledge.Nurse then acts upon this knowledge by initiating a plan of care, updating an existing one or maintaining status quo. Nurses detect patterns in data and information to create new knowledge.

cognitive science
72
These concepts can help nurses understand the decision-making and information processing done by nurses and, subsequently, assist in the creation of appropriate tools to support nursing processes.
Conceptual Model of Nursing Informatics
73
is integrated within each elements, depicting nursing informatics as the proper management of knowledge, from data as it is converted into information and knowledge.
Management processing
74
is a way to understand how information can be processed

This is the same as GRAVES AND CORCORAN'S MODEL except there is an addition of a new element which is WISDOM.
Data-Information-Knowledge Model Theory
76
Data-Information-Knowledge Model Theory is the same as GRAVES AND CORCORAN'S MODEL except there is an addition of a new element which is
WISDOM
77
the appropriate use of data, information, and knowledge in making decisions and implementing nursing actions.
Wisdom
78
It includes the ability to integrate data, information, and knowledge with professional values when managing specific human problems.
Wisdom
79
explains that data lead to information, information to knowledge, and knowledge to wisdom.
DIKW framework
80
represents the relationships between data, information, knowledge andwisdom. Each building block is a step towards a higher level
DIKW Pyramid
81
Nursing informatics involves identification of information needs, resolution of the needs, and attainment of nursing goals/objectives.
Schiwirian’s Model
82
proposed a model intended to stimulate and guide systematic research in nursing informatics, a model/framework that enables identification of significant information needs, that can foster research (somewhat similar to Maslow's hierarchy of needs).
Patricia Schwirian
83
Schiwirian’s Model contains four primary elements arranged to form a pyramid. These elements are:
1.the "raw material;' which is nursing related information
2.the technology, which is a computing system
3.the users, who are nurses/students within the context of their personal andprofessional systems
4.the goal or objective toward which the three preceding elements are directed.
84
The placement of the goal at the apex of the pyramid is intended to
show the importance of the ultimate goal of any NI activity.
85
This pyramid provides an appropriately flexible four-dimensional structure in which to devise and locate meaningful NI research.

87
Today, computers in nursing are used to

Nursing informatics is a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice. Nursing informatics facilitates the integration of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom to support patients, nurses, and other providers in their decision-making in all roles and settings. This support is accomplished through the use of __________________________________________________________________. (American Nurses Association, 2008)
